Image used with permission, property of Abigail Larson.For the last 9 years, Carl of Stainless Steel Droppings has hosted the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril event. It starts in September and goes through October and encourages reading and sharing mysterious, horrorific, or gothic novels or short stories. It also includes watching films or TV shows in that area. Something for everyone.
This year Carl has turned the event over to Andi and Heather at The Estella Society. Below is a list of the types of fiction that would fit this challenge:
- Mystery
- Suspense
- Thriller
- Dark Fantasy
- Gothic
- Horror
- Supernatural
- Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above.
There are two simple rules:
1. Have fun reading.You can view the sign-up page, which has information for various levels of participation for the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril IX event HERE. In addition to books, movies, and television, you can post about short stories or join in a group read. There is a R.I.P. Review Site where participants may post links to any book or screen posts related to this event.
2. Share that fun with others.
I am committing to only one peril this year... Peril the First. Read four books, any length, that you feel fit (the very broad definitions) of R.I.P. literature. It could be King or Conan Doyle, Penny or Poe, Chandler or Collins, Lovecraft or Leroux…or anyone in between.
Every year I include a list of books I hope to read during the two months of R.I.P and usually I choose entirely different books. But who knows, maybe I will do better this year. So here is a tentative list:
Ghost Hero by S. J. Rozan
Fender Benders by Bill Fitzhugh
The Con Man by Ed McBain
The Last Enemy by Grace Brophy
The Coffin Dancer by Jeffery Deaver
All the Lonely People by Martin Edwards
Hour of the Cat by Peter Quinn
The Iron Gates by Margaret Millar
Ask for Me Tomorrow by Margaret Millar
